A corner of the Talbot Hotel in Wexford last year hosting the annual antiques fair run by Parnell Antiques during Wexford Festival Opera.
Since the first Festival of Music and the Arts took place in 1951, the annual Wexford Festival Opera in the south-east Irish town has specialised in neglected works and has become one of the world’s leading opera festivals.
Also long-running in Wexford, at 47 years, is the antiques fair held in the Talbot Hotel on the quay which is held for five days during the festival.
